A vote of censure is for doing something bad. So the answer would be accepting a bribe.

Censure is a congressional procedure for publicly reprimanding the President of the United States, a member of Congress or a judge for inappropriate behavior. When the President is censured, it serves merely as a condemnation and has no direct effect on the validity of presidency, nor are there any other particular legal consequences. Unlike impeachment, censure has no basis in the Constitution, or in the rules of the Senate and House of Representatives. It derives from the formal condemnation of either congressional body of their own members.

Some people, such as Senator Russ Feingold, want to censure President Bush for his wiretapping operations which they believe to be illegal.
